just looked at them again, pigroastcatering says its piglet is "up to 50 lbs" which would serve close to 50 people, i.e. their pig could be as much as twice the size as roasted piglet, which explains some of the price difference.

dmartins123, what's your definition of too big to be a piglet? or are you thinking suckling pig?

can't recall the price of alex dos leitoes but it was by plate rather than the whole piglet. It wasn't very expensive maybe $12-14 a plate with some sides like potatoes and veggies. Ok flavour, very tender but not crispy enough. I think much of it comes from how they carve the pig and how they roast it. perhpaps their piggy was too large thus the skin thicker so to balance not over cooking they had to stop before the skin was super crispy.

just a word of warning for y'all... i tried the "order online" option at roastedpiglet.com, didn't get any kind of response, so i called to confirm and was told, "oh, we can't do that, the owner's away."
